Kim Kardashian is suing a celebrity website for claiming that she faked her dramatic Paris robbery.

The 35-year-old reality TV star was locked in a bathroom in a private residence and tied up by armed robbers.

The robbers, who were dressed as police officers, are thought to have stolen $10m of jewellery during the terrifying incident, which took place as Kardashian was in the French capital for Paris Fashion Week.

In a lawsuit filed in a federal court in Manhattan, New York, Kardashian’s lawyers said that she was wrongly portrayed as a liar and a thief after she was attacked.
